The development of a 16S rRNA gene based PCR for the identification of Streptococcus pneumoniae and comparison with four other species specific PCR assays [PDF]
Background: Streptococcus pneumoniae is one of the most frequently encountered pathogens in humans but its differentiation from closely related but less pathogenic streptococci remains a challenge.

Genetic Insights Into Coronary Microvascular Disease. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Coronary microvascular disease (CMVD) affects the coronary pre‐arterioles, arterioles, and capillaries and can lead to blood supply–demand mismatch and cardiac ischemia. CMVD can present clinically as ischemia or myocardial infarction with no obstructive coronary arteries (INOCA or MINOCA, respectively). Currently, therapeutic options for CMVD

Clinicoradiologic data of familial cerebral cavernous malformation with age‐related disease burden
Objective Familial cerebral cavernous malformation (FCCM) is an autosomal dominant disease induced by loss‐of‐function mutations in three CCM genes, KRIT1, CCM2, and PDCD10.

Loss-of-function mutations in cerebral cavernous malformation (CCM) genes and gain-of-function mutation in the MAP3K3 gene encoding MEKK3 cause CCM. Deficiency of CCM proteins leads to the activation of MEKK3-KLF2/4 signaling, but it is not clear how ...

Simulations of tropospheric joint distributions in the UW θ‐σ model and CCM2 [PDF]
Results are presented for experiments which examine the ability of the University of Wisconsin (UW) hybrid isentropic‐sigma (θ‐σ) and sigma (σ) coordinate models and the NCAR Community Climate Model 2 (CCM2) to transport and conserve the joint distributions of potential temperature (θ) or equivalent potential temperature (θe) and a source‐free inert ...

Chemical data assimilation estimates of continental U.S. ozone and nitrogen budgets during the Intercontinental Chemical Transport Experiment-North America [PDF]
Global ozone analyses, based on assimilation of stratospheric profile and ozone column measurements, and NOy predictions from the Real-time Air Quality Modeling System (RAQMS) are used to estimate the ozone and NOy budget over the continental United ...

Systems-wide analysis unravels the new roles of CCM signal complex (CSC)
Cerebral cavernous malformations (CCMs) are characterized by abnormally dilated intracranial capillaries that result in increased susceptibility to stroke. Three genes have been identified as causes of CCMs; KRIT1 (CCM1), MGC4607 (CCM2) and PDCD10 (CCM3);
